Hi

Browsing my Tour preview mag I was horrified to see that TV listings are only given for Eurosport.

Please confirm that ITV has decided to continue its coverage this year and that they're not in the listings simply because they haven't finalised their screening times.

Cheers

Paul

    I think the TdF coverage, like some of ITV's non-F1 motorsport such as the Manx TT, is on ITV4 not ITV2 this summer.

    Sorry, I meant ITV4. So many channels, so little worth watching.......

    Anyway, good news is that my panic is now over. It's on this year as per.

    May get Eurosport next year for the other tours anyway.....

    Yeah I agree Deal - I'm thinking of jacking in my Sky package and sticking with freeview _ I've hardly got to se any cycling on TV this season and it's not for the want of trying. At least you can understand Liggett and Sherwen - as for Kelly - I guess that's for another thread!

    Will ITV have every stage live? Or just the weekend stages like last year?

    Too true. The poster on this thread who's thinking of telling Murdoch to stuff his Sky box and just have Freeview instead could be on to a winner.
